CVE-2026-3425: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in rometheme RTMKit
The RTMKit Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via the 'path' parameter of the 'get_content' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where PHP files can be uploaded and included.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3425 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the RTMKit Addons for Elementor WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.0.2). The flaw exists in the handling of the 'path' parameter of the 'get_content' AJAX action, which does not properly control file inclusion. Authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or above can exploit this to include arbitrary PHP files, leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating high severity. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected server. This can lead to bypassing access controls, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, and full remote code execution. The vulnerability poses a high risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the RTMKit plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security advisories to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
